here is mine its
###ERROR### edge #1241 is open
wtf is wrong idk how to fix this

hmmmm.....so i just delete the edges and WELD...? thats ALL???
i dont have to go trough the
1.open chimp in MAXscript
2.klik listener window and then "export halo sturcture"
3.w8 for it to be done...

You do need to export it again and that stuff.

sooo thats it? u dont have to go trough all that again?

I just told you that you do.

can someone explain in DEEP DETAIL on how to explain this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool structure levels\the_v
alley the_valley
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...
### WARNING found #1 degenerate triangles.

### ERROR edge #9991 is open (red).

### ERROR failed to import collision bsp.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>

i've got a better idea for this thread. Instead of just posting errors, post explanations once they have been posted elsewhere.

So if a guy has an open edge, explain it very well. Then THX can write a more general description of it under the error. Then if somebody is still having a problem, they can post it.

i still dont get this.....SO I DO HAVE TOP GO TROUGH ALL THAT AGAIN?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

import the wrl and delete the polys around the error, and remodel.

idk how to do that exacly sooooooooooooooooo yea ima need help

just be patient, otherwise nobody will want to help you. If you cant figure something out, search for tutorials. If that doesn't help you, fool around to see if anything can be done with common sense. Asking here is the last option if those dont help.

restart your pc and try again

something dealing with memory.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool model sky\harshness

### ERROR model file has wrong version number.
### ERROR failed to import geometry 'harshness.JMS'.

Wtf?

It can't import geometry. It has the wrong version number. Reading this stuff is easy. Fixinig it. well... see next window.

So...what do I do? What the heck is a version number? Because 3ds keeps crashing when I export a sky. the jms then gives me this error.

you've got a corrupt bitmap. Re-rip it, or pull a backup if you backed up your tags after installing CE. Assuming it's not a custom bitmap you're trying to create

Can I get somehelp?

example:
tool structure "levels\test\bloodgulch" "bloodgulch"
tool lightmaps "levels\test\bloodgulch\bloodgulch" "bloodgulch" 0 .9
you dont need the quotes if there's no spaces in the filepath
Hopefully you had overwrite unchecked while you ripped those maps. Otherwise, you may have overwritten some tags with corruptly extracted tags



I don't recall exactly, but it's been covered. search for "couldn't update edge".



import the .wrl from CE's program folder. If you're using gmax, use the wrl importer built into Gimp, or the stand-alone wrl importer from gimp I uploaded to this site. And get familiar with SEARCH. These questions have findable answers. In this case, basically, use the .wrl's objects to find the areas that violate the sealed-world rules (search "HEK Tutorial" to find a description of that), and take a close look at each area. An example of z-buffering is if a cliff face and the wall of an inside cave passed thrue each other. All part of the same continuous surface, but intersecting, forming a bubble that would trap anything entering the overlapping space


Process of elimination. Make a backup copy of your scenario. Delete references to tags which may be corrupt - those added since the last successful build - until you get a successful build again. Maybe you need to restore some tags from the original tag set or an original Bungie map, idk. Then add back in your custom tags until you find the corrupt one. Then you've almost isolated the problem and can find a solution.


Process of elimination again


I found a bug, and a solution! Not that anyone will ever need it, but...
Importing an exported scenario.txt crashed guerilla, with an "EXCEPTION halt in \halopc\haloce\source\tag_files\tag_groups.c,#2419: group_tag==NONE || tag_group_get(group_tag)"
I found that it crashed when it read a netgame flag with a "wpcl" weapon group tag reference from bloodgulch's red flag. Changing "wpcl" to "itmc" fixes it.

there is probably nobody modding CE anymore... but anyway: im kinda stuck

all i did was decompile bloodgulch.map, change the name (to bloodgulchpat.scenario) and enter it into tool.exe

PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm about to chuck my pc under a B-double
Edited by PatpatPat on Nov 20, 2010 at 07:51 AM

this thread is over a year old.
looks like corrupted tags.

You're missing the lightmaps for Bloodgulch. Either that, or your current bitmap is corrupted.

Recursively extract all tags from Bloodgulch.

I made a new ce map and I tried compiling it but when I put in the command in tool it said:
found 1628 vertices that look like garbage. Does any1 know how 2 fix this or what it means?

Have you tried removing isolated vertices? The button near the bottom of the editable mesh rollout, in whole-object mode or vert sub object mode. Click it in whole object mode

Do you have a stand animation block? Are you making a biped? Idk, couldn't find any solid answers on that amongst the internets.
